London Marathon in on Sunday 26 April.
I"m running in the Silverstone Half-marathon a week on Sunday. So that should be a decent indicator of how well (or not) my training is coming on.

Excellent. It"s great fun to watch as there are big crowds and lots of drinking. More fun than running it...
kinboshi:
Was planning on doing a 15-mile run yesterday, but after a tough hockey match and two late nights on the trot at DTD, I didn"t really feel like braving the wind and the rain.
So I chickened out, and decided to have a rest day instead. Went to bed before 9 o"clock (no donkfests for me), and got up at 5am this morning and ran 16-miles. Didn"t feel too bad either (my legs do now though), and I ran it at a little over 8min/mile pace and it was very comfortable. So this bodes well for London.
Next test is the Silverstone half next Sunday. 13.1 miles starting and finishing on the F1 track. It"s a very flat and fast course, so I should be able to run a decent time. I"m not going to be truly running it at top speed though, as it"s still a training run for London. But if I can get round in around 1h 40m, I"ll be happy.
Just hope it"s not as windy as yesterday.
